TIIUKNDAY KVtiNINCS,, November 27, IMA. A Course or Lectures. Tho desiro is entertained among many of our citizens and lias reached us through various sources, that a course of Scientific Lectures should bo delivered in this city during tho long evenings of the approaching winter. The suggestion haw struck us very favorably, and we hope it will be carried into effect promptly. The Lectures of Professor Bt. John, delivered in this city last winter, were well attended and elicited much interest. A course of Lectures on Chemistry, given by one thoroughly acquainted with his subject and who could bring to his aid good Chemical Apparatus, would undoubtedly he profitable in the highest degree and secure the ntlendnnco of a largo number of our citizens. An effort will be made, wo are informed, to secure such a course of Lectures, and will undoubtedly bo successful, if promptly seconded. Let an opportunity be given at once to those who are disposed to secure to this community the advantages of such exercises during the long evenings of tho winter season.Mr. C. P. Cast-aims. This gentleman, a native of Greece, who lectured in this city a few days since, is now in Cincinnati, and was to deliver a lecture before a Literary Society of that city on Grecian Eloquence, on Tuesday evening last. He is a gentleman and a scholar, and we hope, will receive that attention and encouragement he deserves at the hands of our intelligent neighbors of the Queen City. He is too modest, entirely, for a public lecturer, at least to make it a profitable business. With a tithe of the tact and confidence of some of our public lecturers, he would make a fortune. Men frequently seem inclined to value public characters in proportion to the amount of impudence and self.estcem they display.

Hon. Elfeha Whittlesey. It will lie seen by the announcement which follows, that this gentleman has withdrawn his name from before the public as a candidate for Governor. In common with thenumeroiiH friends of Mr. Wiiitti.esbv, we can only say wo regret this, and we but poorly express our sense of his merits as a man and an undis seinbliug patriot when we add, that hit would have honored the station he declines, and would have com manded for the nomination the undivided support of his own sect if) n of the State, including the never yielding Reserve, as well as the hearty concurrence of the other portions. Though Mr. W. declines entering the active field of politics, we know his heart and hand will bo with us through all the vicisilude of the conflict 44 Whig still, Whig always " while there is a remnant of the old Republican platform to stand on. Willi such men to rally a round and to counsel us, we need not fear to fullow where they would bo first to lead. Coi.ewnrs, Ohio, Nov. !JG, 1H45. To the Editor of the (thin Shite Journal: GiiNTLimr.N living been announced by the kind partiality of some friend, ns a candidate for the nllice if Governor of this Slate, 1 take the earliest moment to say, 1 am not a candidate for that distinguished station. In due time a person will lie nominated, in whoso election, hoiie nil will unite, who wish to pro mote the intelligence, happiness, proserity, and be nign institutions or this people : and the pence, harmony, welfare and union of the T?iiied Slate. Most sincerely, KLISIIA WHITTLESEY. Khodo Iftlnnd. An election takes place iu Rhode Island, in April next, for Governor, members of the Legislature, Ac, Tho "Law and Order" party have nominated for Governor, J anki Fi:nn km, who was Executive of the Si ale last term. Ho declined the nomination. Rv-Hon Dihnan, who is now Lieut. Governor, was then nominated for the office, with Usac P. Haahii for Lieut. Governor. Some resolutions were adopted expressive of a conviction that it is necessary to keep up a distinct organization in this form. We doubt this fact and regret much that the angry controversy was not ended by the nomination of a Whig ticket, landing on the broad Whig platform. A ticket was nominated at Providence, in addition to the almve, which is denominated the 14 Whig Ticket." A new paper culled the 44 Tribune of the People " has been established to advocate the rlnims, and urge the re-election of Mr. Simmons to the Senate. At the head of this ticket is the name of Ciiahi.ks J uK-son, for Governor. He was elected Inst year, in opposition to the 44 Law and Order " candidate, although in a proer sense of the term he is console red as much a friend of law and order ns his coniietitor. We hope the Whigs of Rhode IsUud will vindicate their good name, by meeting on some common ground. A Voice from tho Factory LnborersI In our columns to-day apiears an appeal from the Factory Lalmrers of the Kant to the people of tin Union against the deliberate, malicious and oft re iter ated misrepresentations of Locofoco presses and poli ticians, With it we copy the comments of the N. Y. Tribune, in which paper we find it. let this manly, frank and indubitable statement Ik read and pondered throughout the country- Then1 is nothing to be gain ed by misrepresentations or a misunderstanding of this question, iu any of its various bearings. It is one of vital interest to the country and must continue to lie unless the whole policy of the enlightened and civilii-cd nations of the old world undergo a change. American Industry, in some of its developments and oppli. cations, must receive protection at the hands of the Government, unless we are prepared for a great re-; vuls'm.i in business. T .iritis need occasionally to be changed to keep pnee with tho progn-ss of the conn-try, and the development of its energies and wealth, hut the principle Protection is a sound one and must be preserved. It has received tho sanction of the country, ever since the coi ipact which binds us together was formed, and it can only be abandoned at a sacrifice for which no adequate return can or will be made. A sound discrimination both for revenue and protection, Is the true principle, and the attempt tn substitute for the present Taritrone that shall discriminate for revenue purposes ns'jf, is radically wrong. Wo believe it cannot lie effected, though it may be at-tempted, unless the public mind shall bt abused by the ten thousand falsehoods and slanders that have been set afloat by unscrupulous politicians to bring into disrepute factory labor and the operations of the factory system. Hence is it all important that the public mind be disnhused and a correct knowledge of the operations of the factory system in this country Imparted. As Whigs we hove no motive for creating false impressions on the subject ; we are under no ob ligations ami have no disposition to defend abuses of the factory system. There may bo abuses under the system in this country as well as in England ; but to any that those abuses are inherent to one particular kind of labor more than to another, when carried on extensively, is to argue in behalf of an absurdity. Factory labor may be conducted on the same principles that other labor is conducted; profitably to all concerned, employer and employed. The government by giving it stability and permanency, through the salutary operations of a sound discrimination, does much to guard against the abuses and excesses of fac- Itory labor If by its policy it increases the consump tion of and demand for our domestic productions, it docs much to elevate the laborer above that slate of dependence which sometimes places him at the mercy of the capitalist and the monopolist, by increasing tho demand for his labor. The abuses that wealth enables many to practice, are most successfully practiced where the demand fur domestic labor is diminished by an erroneous national policy. In this country, under a wise system, the demand lor labor may be kept up; and this is tho best shield for the rights and interests of the laborer the government can interpose. To contend, as is sometimes done, that just in proportion as manufacturers thrive will the burthens of their operatives be increased, is to contend for what is, on its free, preposterous. Equally absurd and iniquitous is it to inculcate the idea that all the privations and hardships of the factory systems of England and France must necessarily attend the extension and multiplication of factories in this country. There the excess of labor is so great as to produce a ruinous competition among the laborers themselves, all of which accrues to tho benefit of the employers. Palpably is it the interest of our government and people to avert such a stale of things. And assuredly is it tho dictate of patriotism, an enlightened judgment, and a true philanthropy, to oppose what is erroneous in tho exactions of sordid wealth, and to set in operation those influences which will secure to labor its just reward and a protection against abuses at home and abroad. We have digressed somewhat from the point we set out to enforce ; but let it pass. The appeal of the fac tory laborers will commend ilself to the good sense of the country and will do much to disabuse the public mind. The clamors of demagogues sink before such testimony, and American interests will still secure the support of the patriotic, the wise and good despite the insidious efforts of the present administration. A Tempest in a Ten-pot I A beautiful fight is progressing in Cleveland, between the Hards and Softs, the 14 Old Hunkers " and the 44 Young Democracy" of Cleveland at this time. The Locofoco Central Committee of Cuyahoga county have forwarded a memorial to Mr. Polk, urging tho immediate removal of T. P. Spkncku from the Post Office of Cleveland, and the substitution of G. C. Donor, as n suitable person for that post. Mr. Giur, the editor of the Plaindealcr, is at the head of tho Committee, and ho second the movement vigorously iu his editorial columns. Mr. Spencer was appointed to the ollice lie holds by the present administration, and supplunted a Tyler man. The bill of charges ngaiust him is truly formidable. He is denounced as incompetent to perform the duties of tho office, and charged with securing it by a fraud on the 14 Democracy." lie is also charged with the grossest Win-ijueneies and with tluft! And, what it is supposed will be considered of much more importance to the administration, he is charged with having failed to render etficient service to the party for several years post, and with being engaged, at this time, in efforts to distract the party and break down its organ, tho I'laindenler, for the benefit of the Tunes, a idieet of tho Medary slnmp, recently established there! All will turn, we may venture to surmise, on these last points, and it will remain to bo seen how far the administration sympathizes wilh the various factions of Locofocoism ill Ohio. 1 he admitiistrnlion, we imagine, wilt be in no haste to make the removal. The Times comes to the defence of its friend with spirit. Mr. Hcnccr has instituted a suit against the members of the Committee, for libel, and thus the matter stands at present. If we believe the half these men say of each other they are all a precious sol of scoundrels A Mystery I'urtiiiHy Solved. A week or more since we intimated upon authority that we regarded as reliable, that Mackenzie's hook of Disclosures, was published 11 with the kiutwledfre and approbation of the Administration at Washington." This an no un cement was, undoubtedly, considered almost incredible, by many. There are those, howev er, who are well aware of its truth, and we called for an explanation of the mysterious fuel thus presented. The New York Correspondent of the National Intelligencer, in a letter under date Nov. iiO, gives a partial explanation, on authority which he defies even the Washington 44 Union' itself to call in question. He shows that Mr. Cod din gum was defeated in his pursuit after the New York Collectorship, by an exhibition of some nf the letters published by .Mackenzie, and this, too, after Mr. Polk had rolunturily given to Mr. Dix, as tin1 organ of the Old Hunkers, a pledge that the candidates of the latter, among whom was Mr. Codd'tngton should be appointed. The following is a portion of the statement of Ihe Intelligencer's correspondent, which he lemurks is an answer to our inquiry:,A short time before the printing of Mr. Mackenzie's pamphlet, a friend of the Administration accidentally discovered that such a publication was preparing for Ihe preps. He was informed, also, of the character if the letters that would appear. This gentleman hid an interview with Mackenzie, in the course of which he stated that if the letters were such as represented, mid copies were furnished him, he could defeat the appointment o Ioihiinutun, ihe letters were pro- ihicei, copies were tunmheit, and the gentleman Ihus nn med proceeded to W.inhiriirton. These documents wen hrst exhibited to Air. Wai.kkr, Heeretnrv ot the Treasury : then to Mr. Porn, who upon rending them, xelaimeil, " will not auintint LwijwWeJi, but a man of nr own." There is still a mystery connected with the matter. Who was it that conveyed these letters to Washing ton? That the administration has connived at the betrayal and exposure of the Old Hunkers N. York, including I'un Uuren and llutlert is too evident to admit of doubt, in view of its silence relative to these forthcoming disclosures, which it had tho means of suppressing, but failed to use. A Temperance ltnllyt The friends of Temperance and all who aro interested in this great Reform, are invited to attend a a meeting to be held at the Methodist Church on Tukiuav e vKitiNo n kxt, at which time addresses will be delivered, it is expected, by Rev. Mr. Moonr, of the Methodist Church, and several able friends ol Temperance, connected with tho Legislature, who will be hero at that time. An earnest invitation is given to every true friend of the cause to be present. Tho great cause has received a new imjictit, and en-listed the sympathies and labors of some of the best men in the country recently. A host of our citizens have enrolled under the Temperance Banner; but they suffered a parulyzing lethargy to steal over them opiate. Let them arouse, coino forward, and if they have been faithless, pledge anew their faith and efforts, and all will he well. The Musical Society of Columbus, under the lead of Mr. Mac hold, will be present and sing some of the choicest Temperance Songs, set to appropriate music. Reports are expected from the Committees appoint-1 ud iu the several wards at the last meeting. By order of President. J. TEESDALE, Secretary. (fyYVe wish the Statesman joy of all the aid tho A. V. Herald cm afford it in the settlement of the Oregon question. Now that Bennett fights under the Oregon banner, the Statesman can no longer doubt the wisdom of its position. Bennett's "British sympa thies" do not hurt him we suppose, as his departure from the fast anchored Isle was more a matter of necessity titan choice ; and the welcome he received from O'Connell not l ing since did much to confirm his respect for his native land. White such men as Bennett oppose the Whigs, they cannot be far out of the way, and we should suspect the soundness of our position if it received his approbation. A Despairing Appeal. Tho Statesman of last evening contains a most lugubrious appeal to the Locofoco politicians of Ohio, to suspend their quarreU, and unite upon common ground against the Whigs, It becomes almost obsequious occasionally in its efforts to appease the wrath of its enemies, and denies with an indignation assumed most becomingly, that the idea is entertained by any of a-bandoning the principles of tho party, The leaders, he contends, are all aiming at one loiut, but as they cannot accomplish directly what they want, owing to an unfortunate perversciiess of public sentiment, he would have them use a little trickery and duplicity, and thus bring about their ends indirectly. Fur his part he is ready to do nnything and every thing rather than have the present wretched state of otfiirs continue. Instead of feeling indignant at the assaults made upon him by some of the Locofoco presses, he admires the spirit tiny display, and commends them for their ardent, indomitable attachment to principle. He appreciates their motives, but very, wry kindly tutt. mutes that they iinut consent to dissemble a little on the bank question. Nevertheless, if they will not, and really think they cannot w hy he is with Ihem, ready to do what serine th liest. Ho talks about ixour democracy," and about 44 ordering" them against the common enemy as though they were so many cattle to lie driven to market, and disposed of without the slightest reference to any principles or feelings they may bo suppnscd to possess. In fact, ho seems to take it for granted, that if the leaders can only settle matters to suit themselves, the good, clever people will lie ready to march at the order, 11 without a why or wherefore." The idea that they can see through this trauspirent web of deiimgoguism does not seem to enter even for a moment his unsuspecting soul. Well, well, our neighbor deserves to succeed, and although we scarcely rxected to see him become so tame under the assaults of his enemies, yet we an' not certain but he has taken the best course. If the Iturds do not yield note, and abandon their doubts as to his 44 mission " and views, they m iy be rated among the most incorrigible of living mortals. It is true that itflor wading through the interminable article of our neighWr, they will be about as much enlightened as to his actual designs and opinions, as they were before they saw it; or, as the public were in reference to his views on Rankin: after reading an article he put forth a month or two before the election, yet Ins assurance that he is willing to do almost anything for the sake of harmony, ought to be suHicicnt to satisfy even old Urn, Toppon himself. Complaint has heeii made, that a particular portion of the State has been over-represented, heretofore, in ibis lmdy nnd that an unfair iutluence has thus Wen exerted to bring forward such men, and such issues, as would Im-sI serve tho interests of a portion, only, of the party. A liikcwarmitcssflfnoNjr the people a de-sin to shift the responsibility upon the few who were willing to work and a variety of minor causes, havo tended tolhrowthe business of nominating candidates for ofiice, nnd of presenting issues to the party, upon a few individuals. The result has shown that tliey have not carried with them, the co-operation of the people and we have been compiled to a defeat while we feel certain thai the majority of voles in Ohio are clearly upon our side. Ohio L hioh. We quote the bIkivc from an article relative to the anticipated Hth of January Convention, and the nomination of a Locofoco candidate fur Governor, which we find iu the last Ohio Union. It is an admission of the charge so frequently brought against their opponents by the Wings, that tint party has been ruled by a few reckless spirit whose aims and purposes were selfish, and wilh whom the copli of Ohio have never sympathised, although they have occasionally submitted to their control. The 41 dear people" have lieen informed by these immaculate spirits, from time to time, that llie "democracy of numbers" controlled all tho movements of the party, and it is now admitted that the few, acting out rank federal principles, have dictated to the many, transacted their business for them and oven established their issues. Let this admission he recorded. What does the Union mean by ils intima tion 44 that the majority nf votes in Ohio," are on tho Locofoco side r hat folly to put forth such a declar ation. Worse than lolly. The Union knows that at four successive contests, a decided majority of the votes polled have been in our favor. It knows that more votes were polled by nearly fort thou so nd til the elec tion last fall than were ever before polled in the State, and that tho W lugs had a decided majority of these, yet it tnlks of a iMtaforo majority in the State t Wa diould like to know what disposition the editor of the Union makes of his eonnrimee when he w riles his edi torials) or, is ho not troubled with such a monitor. QT We are not in the habit of finding fault wilh our opponents for the terms they use in steakins of i s, but we must be permitted to express our surprise that the editor of the Kolidin 'enture should permit any one to use Ins columns who has no belter conception f the dignity of the press, and what is due to a just sense of propriety than his correspondent who signs himself thus ( ) manifests. We ask that measure of courtesy only tint we are willing to extend to others, and we are indisposed In hold intercourse wilh any who will not bu guided by this equitable rule.

Then seems lo lie a strong disposition in some sec-' lions of the State to shuulc Daviii Ton off the track and select another as the Locofoco candidate for Gov- ruor. We do not know, nor do we care much what may be the result of the contest. The " hnrds " certainly lack confidence in the incorruptible David, and the fact that he proved so pliant an in sir unit nt in the hinds of the various sections of the parly, in the last contest, leads them to feel that he cannot lie depended upon. The softs think him not the strongest man in (heir ranks by odds, and would prefer, if they could conveniently, do so, to give him the go-by. The probability is, at this time, that the various sections will make the best of a bud job, and nominate David. Dowrr Utter, Rkcrkii Wooii, W. II. Bi.nwm, Ttios. Hamir and Daviii Ton have thus fur been named for the office by our opponents. Two nf these are considered hard enough for all purposes, and the rest are made of inalahlc metal.

The novelty of the invention consists iu having but one larpo wheel and two cog wheels, one larger than the other.

Tho editor of the New York Tribune has examined recently in two establishments at Brooklyn the opera- lion or uie apparatus known as "i,iute Kesoury s Improved Patent Heat Generator." It effects a saving of from ! to 50 per cent, in the amount of fuel required; the cost of erecting the Works with it is con- sidernhly less, as high chimneys, towers, etc., arc su perceded. The heat is entirely retained around or ab sorbed into the boiler, so that one may put his hand into the chimney just above the boiler at any tune, and experience no sensation but that of pleasant, ge nial warmth in a current ol air. 1 he heat is so entirely retained thnt, the fire being stopped and all opera tions susfHMided at early evening, the workmen come back next morning and at once start the machinery ngain, without a particle of fire under the boiler. The saving of time thus realized is no slight additional ad vantage, i lie process tiy winch this is enected is ve ry simple, and is thus described by the editor ol the Tribune : 14 The active ngent is a common blower, scting on a coal fire in the common boiler grate, from which Ihe heat and flame pass over a bar which brings thorn into close contact with the boiler, which they follow to the farther end. Here instead of passing vp into tho flue, the unoonsumed gases pnssdWn into a low er reservoir or outlet; from which they escape into the chimney, into which a strong current of atmospheric air is admitted, perhaps two feet above the reservoir. 1 his air being heavier than tho heated gases, bears them down; and in fuet all the gases usually escaping from fuel and forming smoke, heated air &c, aro , retained in the fire chamber and consumed, except the carbonic acid gns, (incombustible,) which alone passes on, hardly warm, through llie chimney. All beside is retained snd consumed in the formation of steam. Any offensive gases which may be generated by ihe manufacture carried on by the help of the engine to which this is attached, may be conveyed into the fireplace and mode not merely harmless but useful," The improvement can bo added when works are being put up or remodelled at an expense (other than the patentees' charge) of a few dollars. To apply it to works alrendy in in operation costs from $ to $."ti) for malerinls and labor. The steam mills of N York nnd its vicinity nre fast getting the 44 Generator," and the I,owcII factories and others contemplate its adoption at an early day. It is applicable to all instrumentalities used for generating and applying heat as an 'lement ol propulsion. Halttmore American. V. H. Circuit Court, New York. Patknt RtniiT. A case involving the validity of Buck s iiatent for t ookmg Stoves, him been tried at the lute term of the U.S. Circuit court in the North- m District of New York. The case is briefly report ed from tho Albany Journal, and from that report it appears That Buck, in I H30, obtained a patent for nn improvement in the Cooking Stove, consisting in the extension of the oven iiiuler the hearth of the stove, and iu com bination With the flues which surrounded the oven, securing an equal degree of heat on all sides with a very slight consumption of fuel. Recently John C llennnceol Hclienectndy, has un der n patent which he obtained subsequently to that of Mr. Buck, constructed snd sold stoves embracing liuck s improvement, ror tins violation ot his patent, Mr. Buck and Mr. Nathaniel Wright, of this city, the assignee of a portion of the patent, sued Mr. Her-miitice in an action at law, and also filed a bill for on injunction lo restrain him from making or selling nny more stoves embracing Buck's improvement. The suit at law was tried this week and occupied several davs. The esse was submitted to the Jury, who after being out during one night, came into court stating that they could not agree. We understand that nine of the Jurors were in favor of sustaingMr. Buck's patent. The Jury were discharged, nnd the case must be tried again at the next term of the court. After trial the plaintiffs applied to the court for an injunction to restrain Ileriiiunce, the defendant, from milking or selling stoves embracing Buck's improvement. The court granted the injunction asked for, unless the defendant should, willnn 40 dnvs, give to the plaintiffs a bond in the penalty nf $,11041, with two sufficient sureties, conditional to tender to the plaint:!)' monthly, a true account of nil stoves made or sold by him, ami in ease the plaintiffs finally succeeded m establishing Ruck's patent. The Sun bury American thus descrilies the manner iu which the iron T mil for railroads is manufactured at the Montour Works at Dunvillc, Pennsylvania ; In order to make the Trnail, the iron is first rolled through one sett of rollers into heavy fiat bars, about three inches in width and three -ton run of an inch in thickness. These bars are then cut in pieces, some thing less than three feet in length. A number of the pieces, probablr 1.1 or are then ptneed together, making a square hundie or taggot, weighing nearly four hundred pounds. This faggot is then placed in to one of the furnaces and brought to a white heat. when it is drawn on a small iron band cart and con veyed to the rollers. The great weight and intense heat of such a henvy mass, requires considerable skill ns well as strength, in passing it through the rollers The bar as it passes through, is caught and supported by iron levers, fastened to chains that are susKanded on pullics from above. The bar first posses through the square grooves ol the rollers three or lour tunes, before it is run through tho different grooves that gradually uriiig il to the lorm o the edge or 1 rail, as seen upon our rnil mads. Through the last grooves it passes five or six limes before it is completed. It in then placed on a small railway carriage, on a track If feet wide, snd hauled up alumt) feet, when the rnil conies in contact wilh two circular saws, one of which is iiiaeeii on ench side ot the rnilwnv, J hese saw revolve with great rnpidity, and the moment the rail, still red hot, reaches Ihem, the red, sparkling iron saw dust is scattered in everv direction. I'he rails are thus rut off square at each end, exnetly 1H feet bmg, npparently ns easy as if they were mnde of tough hickory wood. The rnil is then dragged to the pile ! ami left to cool, perfectly finished. The rails we saw mnde were intended for the llnrrisburgli and Lanc.as- r rood, and weighed fiftv one noun ils to the vnrd. or something more than three hundred pounds each. I ncsc are said tone the first rails ever made with an thracite iron iu this or any other count rv, and are. we lievo, superior to any that have ever been imported. The (Editor.

Monopoly of the, soil- Croasing of the Mrr de Glace bp flocks and Herds Cowherd tUiliuh Travelling I'urty Peasant Uirls Hasina Tcrrex, r. M aotionv, Switzerland, June Hit, IH-lo. The world is rapidly getting into the hands of a few proprietors. The soil of Scotland bus been recently stated to be owned by 11(1(10 persons ; while that of England, which in J7(i5, belonged to y tOHIO holders, in 1H45 was engrossed by only thirty thousand overgrown, aristocrntic landlords. Such is the tendency, even in this pastoral region. The lunds of the valley arc locked up in old families, in which they have descended, almost ah initio, from father to son ; but the mountains, which cupidity and despotism cannot any where so easily grasp or master, are still the property of the villages, among whom they are divided by fixed rules. The entire population enjoy the valuable right of pasturing their cattle there without cometisation, except to the cowherd, who superintends them, and is paid by the whole. The pasturage is separated into sub-divisions, some for cows, and others for sheep and goats ; the latter arc situated in the more rugged and lofty elevations. Commencing iu the fields at Ihe bottom of the mountains, the cattle as the season ndvances, mount higher and higher, and by the first of July the verdure bus made such progress, that on the side of Mont Blanc itself there is sufficient to nourish the flocks of the villages But the great difficulty is to reach it. The Mrr ile, filaee is to bo crossed, by no means an easy thing for man, and not more so for beast. The whole people go forth to witness or aid this arduous, but indispensable operation, and the occasion becomes almost a fete day. A party proceeds first with axes, to nttempt a passage ujHin the glucier, over which they force the frightened heifers. A great many persons are stationed to indicate the way to their ascending companions. A considerable number of the flocks and herds fall into the yawning clefts; others are maimed ; but must of them are happily conducted beyond this barrier of frost, where they are left for three months under the charge of a man whose vocation it is to take the charge of Ihem, knit stockings, and wonder at and admire the sublime grandeur above and around him. These he can indulge in to his heart's content, without idlers to interrupt his meditations, or reporters to burlesque the soliloquies of his heart. Thus exiled from mankind, with bread and cheese enough for a mouth, he sees no face till (he end of that period brings him a fresh supply. 1 think one of his soliloquies must run thus. O solitude, where are the charms, That saucs have seen in iby fiien t Better dwell in the midst of ahrma, Than reign (over cows) in this mountainous place. The next day, regardless of nn unwonted disinclination for enterprise, resulting from the fatigue of tho preceding day's luborious ascent, we started to continue our regular route to the town of Martigny. Tho duty of the mule was this day soinewhnl greater; for. in addition to one person on his back, and another 44 in tow," he had the baggage of both to carry. This, however, was neither heavy nor bulky. Those who travel to sec the country, are very careful how they encumber themselves with unnecessary luggage. Gen- tlomcii carry merely the apparel on their persons with a change of linen, and st tin numerous hotels upon the way, the most polished make the least pretension. Occasionally one meets a cockney or two, strutting about in a bird of paradise plumes, but these are ror as aces, and not to tie imitated. What is more, ladies dispense even with bandboxes, and other things reckoned ns sine, qua nons on most occasions. Their trav elling dresses aro of course materials, selected for utility only. 1 did, however, see on the day's journey, of which I now am writing, a party of English, consisting of two men and threu women, all mounted upon mules, and as they were going in our direction, we conversed a little together. They were those extraordinary se-cimens, which a man like Dickens would describe, as genuine English, but who in reslity were probably a-mong llie lowest of the people. Having money, they felt its inspiration to travel, and here they were, every one upon a mule, getting wisdom every day, and paying for it in affording amusement to the country all nlong their route. l'lu'V coino on at such a rate, though only on a walk, that it seemed every moment as if they must come off. The gaudy dresses and waistcoats flared at a distance, and telegraphed an extraordinary arrival. And indeed we found it so, for light-colored silk dresses, pump shoes and while stockings aro remarkable equipments for a day's ride over these horrible roods, rendered muddy by numberless springs, which trickle down the Alpine slopes, overhung with bushes and briars, that gavo us no very hospilnblu reception. How many victims to these charms marked their progress through the Cretins, I did not learn. Descending at a little inn, where we were about Inking some refreshments, one of the gentlemen (:) stepped up, and, thrusting his fingers into a plate, on which was placed some ham for us declared, that it would do very well nn opinion in which wo concurred, except thnt we objected to the pig's feet. As none ot this interesting company spoke or understood French, the hotel-keeper had a difficulty iu telling him to keep his fingers out of the dish a piece of advice which is necessary sometimes to American children of five years of age, hut he managed to express his sentiments in another way. We overtook a party of young peasant girls, who were returning from the fair of cows, goats and mules, held at Chamouiiix. With a laudable and philosophic curiosity, as every one must doubtless see, to ham something of these primitive people, two of us, permitting our party to go on, slackened our rein, for wo had, you know, but one between us, and falling into their company, an interesting conversation soon ensued, 1 happened at the time to be on fimt, my friend upon the mule. In the group we found one distinguished bIhivo nil the rest for her youthful beauty, who wns regarded by them with a respect, which could not have been accorded to her su lienor costume, for that was humble as tho others. She appropriated most of her conversation to herself, and her spirited replies were such ss one would nut expect to hoar in these wild regions. 1 hero wns something about her ex ceedingly eaptivntrng. Her dress wns of a coarse brown woollen stun ot country manulncture; around her neck was a little while hnndkerchicf folded enrc-fully over her Iiosoiii. She wore no bonnet, but her black, luxuriant hair was partially concealed hy a cap of a dnrk color, decorated with a double row of broad black lace. Her fnce was finely formed, having regular, well chiseled features, and a black eye which spnrk-led with a lustre scarcely inferior to her wit. The hue of henlth, bo ;ond the reach of art, was upon her cheek, which tfie fervors of an unshaded sun had painted with a rich brown. She possessed a charm withal, which cannot lie rciistcd nor described, but which will ever cause the sweet Rosine Term, tho wild flower ol Cha- mounix, to he ever remembered. As we came to a small village, one hy one of our pretty friends dropped off, till finally none but she re. mained with us. We presently approached her own house, in sixe superior to the others in the cluster, but, like oil these mountain homes, discolored hy the de. facing hand of time. Sheginsistcd on our entering to drink a cup of milk ; and as we feared to lose our companions by our deviation from the road, she offered to escort us afterwards to when the path was plain, and set us snfely on our way again. This was irresistible, for in fact we did not need a very strong inducement. The sweet character of this mountain maiden, so modest and simple, her conversation so piquant, yet a-bounding in naive tie, were more enchanting than the beauty of Paris itself, though heightened with all that dress and taste and education can bestow. Ah, tho lovely Rosine will cause many a heart to ache. We entered the dwelling. A long entry conducted us into the kitchen, thence into the sitting room, which was also the bed chamber. On one side of Ibis peculiar apartment, was a collection of oil paintings, whose design was unquestionably to commemorate some of the remarkable events in the career of Napoleon; but I must confess, notwithstanding a strong desire to represent the contrary wilh indifferent success. Around the frames were stuck some highly colored figures, the most ludicrous imaginable, cut out of somo work similar to llie London Punch. On the other side of the room was a frame, in which beds were placed one over another, aa berths aro on shipboard. 'Ihe centre was occupied by a huge table roughly made, and surrounded by benches. we had scarcely given a glance at ihe singular apartments and its belongings, when the aged father made his appearance. He was of upright fipure, though eighty winters had silvered his hair. A veteran of numerous wars, it was his taste which selected the military paintings which bedecked the room. It was not long bell) re the charming Rosine returned, bearing the milk, covered over wilh rich thick en sm, some of which, 1 fenred, her generous heart iiad robbed from what was left for her family. It wns served in a vessel holding with respect tn sixe, a medium be tween a cup and a howl, on tho sides of which two protuberances answered for handles, and a saucer was underneath. These were manufactured of the same species of clay as the large milk pans used in New England by the farmers' wives, and were msdo of the usual red color. Hut notwithstanding the humble mode of presentation, the milk was as delicious as necur from the hands of Hobo. The fear of not overtaking our companions cnniellcd us to put a period lo our visit in a few minutes, which we could have wished to prolong to as many days. When in fact I was just beginning to think of " Lovo in a cottage," and it kindred seducing images, 1 was summoned to depnrt. Since many ol the Savoyards are emigrating annuallv to Ihe I'niied States, 1 felt a lingering hope of once more seeing the fascinating Rosine in New York, and agreeably to that fancy, gave her my address. She pointed out our road and presented us her hnnd no oily lady's, white and soft but brown nud firm with exercise. Though unnssuming as aim was, here wns not tho shake of affectation or mere politeness, whose dainty touch free Tea like on icicle, but her heart snd soul wns in it; and thus she communicated ihe thrill of feeling and intelligence. "Good bye," she said, and was turning away, when 1 told her 41 that in Paris, ladies when we part from them especially if forever, give us Bomelhing better than their hands. I am sorry it is not the fiudiion here." 44 O, it is the fushion," she replied, "when one wishes." "On this hint I rpaket" says Othello ; judgo then bow I acted. As my present wherenlMJiit was once under the control of French institutions, it would be apropos, as well as delightful to linger a moment on this fnigmnt theme of kisses, were it not as difficult to seite upon them for examination, as to take up Ihe sparkles of champagne on the point of a needle. Rt,th are among the most exhilarating and transitory of human things. They expire at the very instant of their birth, snd to a bystander, like electricity, are only perceived to exist hy their explosion; leaving behind, however, to tho parties concerned, a certain tingling in the veins, and a memory of their evanescent passage, which rank them in my mind among the powerful magnetic intlu. ences. Indeed, if the human frame were even pro. longed as much as Morse s magnetic wires, I do not question, that the sudden junction of the two poles at the lips of the two sexes would evolve a subtle fluid sufficient to penetrate the whole. Nor are they wanting in language, or symbols of tho thoughts. The pure salutation, for example, when tho child, on rising in the morning, or after a temporary absence, presents her clear forehead to parental lips, speaks of filial reverence. The second kind of salute is the hiss polite, and occurs on a New-Year's call, birth-day visit, or the marriage of tho fair one ; at which tmi'-s she puis out her cheek, as, on ordinary occasions, one would do her hand, or as the good man offerB a charity box for donations. These aro marked as temperate on the Fahrenheit of manners being neither not nor cold. But higher up in tho scale comes tho third description, the burning hiss of lore, w hich is printed directly on the lips, the beautiful altar sacred to sacrifices of the heart. How it commences, how it ends, strangers are not permitted to observe ; and tho parties themselves are too much occupied to know, or if they did, too generous to tell. Rut I discover after all, lhat 1 linve not given a definition of a kiss, and in fact am of opinion that it defies such restraint. Grammatical I v considered, it is noun, common, and also of mm in on arnder. thmnrh I am sorry to confess, that in France it is frequently mttreulint.

It is a patent rail for tho atmnsphi-ric lines. The principle consists in working the lme by a " plenum," instead of a " vacuum," or more proM-rly speaking, by forcing strongly compressed air into tubes Inid down in the centre of the line, between the rails, which suddenly inflates the pipes, their sides impinge upon two drums, or large wooden . rollers pressing upon them, which are by that means set in motion, and being fixed by simple mechanism to the carriage above, carries it off with astonishing velocity and it is impossible for the carriage to get off the rail. Such is the confidence ex pressed in its supu-rior construction, that the company who ore about to adopt it propose to mnke everv ticket issued a mdicw of insurance upon the life of the passenger who holds ii, so mai in me event, oi nccidcnt, or death, a claim can Ik mnde upon tho company for a certain amount.

Tho desiro is entertained among many of our citizens and lias reached us through various sources, that a course of Scientific Lectures should bo delivered in this city during tho long evenings of the approaching winter. The suggestion haw struck us very favorably, and we hope it will be carried into effect promptly. The Lectures of Professor Bt. John, delivered in this city last winter, were well attended and elicited much interest. A course of Lectures on Chemistry, given by one thoroughly acquainted with his subject and who could bring to his aid good Chemical Apparatus, would undoubtedly he profitable in the highest degree and secure the ntlendnnco of a largo number of our citizens. An effort will be made, wo are informed, to secure such a course of Lectures, and will undoubtedly bo successful, if promptly seconded. Let an opportunity be given at once to those who are disposed to secure to this community the advantages of such exercises during the long evenings of tho winter season.Mr. C. P. Cast-aims. This gentleman, a native of Greece, who lectured in this city a few days since, is now in Cincinnati, and was to deliver a lecture before a Literary Society of that city on Grecian Eloquence, on Tuesday evening last. He is a gentleman and a scholar, and we hope, will receive that attention and encouragement he deserves at the hands of our intelligent neighbors of the Queen City. He is too modest, entirely, for a public lecturer, at least to make it a profitable business. With a tithe of the tact and confidence of some of our public lecturers, he would make a fortune. Men frequently seem inclined to value public characters in proportion to the amount of impudence and self.estcem they display.

In common with thenumeroiiH friends of Mr. Wiiitti.esbv, we can only say wo regret this, and we but poorly express our sense of his merits as a man and an undis seinbliug patriot when we add, that hit would have honored the station he declines, and would have com manded for the nomination the undivided support of his own sect if) n of the State, including the never yielding Reserve, as well as the hearty concurrence of the other portions.

An election takes place iu Rhode Island, in April next, for Governor, members of the Legislature, Ac, Tho "Law and Order" party have nominated for Governor, J anki Fi:nn km, who was Executive of the Si ale last term. Ho declined the nomination. Rv-Hon Dihnan, who is now Lieut. Governor, was then nominated for the office, with Usac P. Haahii for Lieut. Governor. Some resolutions were adopted expressive of a conviction that it is necessary to keep up a distinct organization in this form. We doubt this fact and regret much that the angry controversy was not ended by the nomination of a Whig ticket, landing on the broad Whig platform. A ticket was nominated at Providence, in addition to the almve, which is denominated the 14 Whig Ticket." A new paper culled the 44 Tribune of the People " has been established to advocate the rlnims, and urge the re-election of Mr. Simmons to the Senate. At the head of this ticket is the name of Ciiahi.ks J uK-son, for Governor. He was elected Inst year, in opposition to the 44 Law and Order " candidate, although in a proer sense of the term he is console red as much a friend of law and order ns his coniietitor. We hope the Whigs of Rhode IsUud will vindicate their good name, by meeting on some common ground. A Voice from tho Factory LnborersI In our columns to-day apiears an appeal from the Factory Lalmrers of the Kant to the people of tin Union against the deliberate, malicious and oft re iter ated misrepresentations of Locofoco presses and poli ticians, With it we copy the comments of the N. Y. Tribune, in which paper we find it. let this manly, frank and indubitable statement Ik read and pondered throughout the country- Then1 is nothing to be gain ed by misrepresentations or a misunderstanding of this question, iu any of its various bearings. It is one of vital interest to the country and must continue to lie unless the whole policy of the enlightened and civilii-cd nations of the old world undergo a change. American Industry, in some of its developments and oppli. cations, must receive protection at the hands of the Government, unless we are prepared for a great re-; vuls'm.i in business. T .iritis need occasionally to be changed to keep pnee with tho progn-ss of the conn-try, and the development of its energies and wealth, hut the principle Protection is a sound one and must be preserved. It has received tho sanction of the country, ever since the coi ipact which binds us together was formed, and it can only be abandoned at a sacrifice for which no adequate return can or will be made. A sound discrimination both for revenue and protection, Is the true principle, and the attempt tn substitute for the present Taritrone that shall discriminate for revenue purposes ns'jf, is radically wrong. Wo believe it cannot lie effected, though it may be at-tempted, unless the public mind shall bt abused by the ten thousand falsehoods and slanders that have been set afloat by unscrupulous politicians to bring into disrepute factory labor and the operations of the factory system. Hence is it all important that the public mind be disnhused and a correct knowledge of the operations of the factory system in this country Imparted. As Whigs we hove no motive for creating false impressions on the subject ; we are under no ob ligations ami have no disposition to defend abuses of the factory system. There may bo abuses under the system in this country as well as in England ; but to any that those abuses are inherent to one particular kind of labor more than to another, when carried on extensively, is to argue in behalf of an absurdity. Factory labor may be conducted on the same principles that other labor is conducted; profitably to all concerned, employer and employed. The government by giving it stability and permanency, through the salutary operations of a sound discrimination, does much to guard against the abuses and excesses of fac- Itory labor If by its policy it increases the consump tion of and demand for our domestic productions, it docs much to elevate the laborer above that slate of dependence which sometimes places him at the mercy of the capitalist and the monopolist, by increasing tho demand for his labor. The abuses that wealth enables many to practice, are most successfully practiced where the demand fur domestic labor is diminished by an erroneous national policy. In this country, under a wise system, the demand lor labor may be kept up; and this is tho best shield for the rights and interests of the laborer the government can interpose. To contend, as is sometimes done, that just in proportion as manufacturers thrive will the burthens of their operatives be increased, is to contend for what is, on its free, preposterous. Equally absurd and iniquitous is it to inculcate the idea that all the privations and hardships of the factory systems of England and France must necessarily attend the extension and multiplication of factories in this country. There the excess of labor is so great as to produce a ruinous competition among the laborers themselves, all of which accrues to tho benefit of the employers. Palpably is it the interest of our government and people to avert such a stale of things. And assuredly is it tho dictate of patriotism, an enlightened judgment, and a true philanthropy, to oppose what is erroneous in tho exactions of sordid wealth, and to set in operation those influences which will secure to labor its just reward and a protection against abuses at home and abroad. We have digressed somewhat from the point we set out to enforce ; but let it pass. The appeal of the fac tory laborers will commend ilself to the good sense of the country and will do much to disabuse the public mind. The clamors of demagogues sink before such testimony, and American interests will still secure the support of the patriotic, the wise and good despite the insidious efforts of the present administration. A Tempest in a Ten-pot I A beautiful fight is progressing in Cleveland, between the Hards and Softs, the 14 Old Hunkers " and the 44 Young Democracy" of Cleveland at this time. The Locofoco Central Committee of Cuyahoga county have forwarded a memorial to Mr. Polk, urging tho immediate removal of T. P. Spkncku from the Post Office of Cleveland, and the substitution of G. C. Donor, as n suitable person for that post. Mr. Giur, the editor of the Plaindealcr, is at the head of tho Committee, and ho second the movement vigorously iu his editorial columns. Mr. Spencer was appointed to the ollice lie holds by the present administration, and supplunted a Tyler man. The bill of charges ngaiust him is truly formidable. He is denounced as incompetent to perform the duties of tho office, and charged with securing it by a fraud on the 14 Democracy." lie is also charged with the grossest Win-ijueneies and with tluft! And, what it is supposed will be considered of much more importance to the administration, he is charged with having failed to render etficient service to the party for several years post, and with being engaged, at this time, in efforts to distract the party and break down its organ, tho I'laindenler, for the benefit of the Tunes, a idieet of tho Medary slnmp, recently established there! All will turn, we may venture to surmise, on these last points, and it will remain to bo seen how far the administration sympathizes wilh the various factions of Locofocoism ill Ohio. 1 he admitiistrnlion, we imagine, wilt be in no haste to make the removal. The Times comes to the defence of its friend with spirit. Mr. Hcnccr has instituted a suit against the members of the Committee, for libel, and thus the matter stands at present. If we believe the half these men say of each other they are all a precious sol of scoundrels A Mystery I'urtiiiHy Solved. A week or more since we intimated upon authority that we regarded as reliable, that Mackenzie's hook of Disclosures, was published 11 with the kiutwledfre and approbation of the Administration at Washington." This an no un cement was, undoubtedly, considered almost incredible, by many. There are those, howev er, who are well aware of its truth, and we called for an explanation of the mysterious fuel thus presented. The New York Correspondent of the National Intelligencer, in a letter under date Nov. iiO, gives a partial explanation, on authority which he defies even the Washington 44 Union' itself to call in question. He shows that Mr. Cod din gum was defeated in his pursuit after the New York Collectorship, by an exhibition of some nf the letters published by .Mackenzie, and this, too, after Mr. Polk had rolunturily given to Mr. Dix, as tin1 organ of the Old Hunkers, a pledge that the candidates of the latter, among whom was Mr. Codd'tngton should be appointed. The following is a portion of the statement of Ihe Intelligencer's correspondent, which he lemurks is an answer to our inquiry:,A short time before the printing of Mr. Mackenzie's pamphlet, a friend of the Administration accidentally discovered that such a publication was preparing for Ihe preps. He was informed, also, of the character if the letters that would appear. This gentleman hid an interview with Mackenzie, in the course of which he stated that if the letters were such as represented, mid copies were furnished him, he could defeat the appointment o Ioihiinutun, ihe letters were pro- ihicei, copies were tunmheit, and the gentleman Ihus nn med proceeded to W.inhiriirton. These documents wen hrst exhibited to Air. Wai.kkr, Heeretnrv ot the Treasury : then to Mr. Porn, who upon rending them, xelaimeil, " will not auintint LwijwWeJi, but a man of nr own." There is still a mystery connected with the matter. Who was it that conveyed these letters to Washing ton? That the administration has connived at the betrayal and exposure of the Old Hunkers N. York, including I'un Uuren and llutlert is too evident to admit of doubt, in view of its silence relative to these forthcoming disclosures, which it had tho means of suppressing, but failed to use. A Temperance ltnllyt The friends of Temperance and all who aro interested in this great Reform, are invited to attend a a meeting to be held at the Methodist Church on Tukiuav e vKitiNo n kxt, at which time addresses will be delivered, it is expected, by Rev. Mr. Moonr, of the Methodist Church, and several able friends ol Temperance, connected with tho Legislature, who will be hero at that time. An earnest invitation is given to every true friend of the cause to be present. Tho great cause has received a new imjictit, and en-listed the sympathies and labors of some of the best men in the country recently. A host of our citizens have enrolled under the Temperance Banner; but they suffered a parulyzing lethargy to steal over them opiate. Let them arouse, coino forward, and if they have been faithless, pledge anew their faith and efforts, and all will he well. The Musical Society of Columbus, under the lead of Mr. Mac hold, will be present and sing some of the choicest Temperance Songs, set to appropriate music. Reports are expected from the Committees appoint-1 ud iu the several wards at the last meeting. By order of President. J. TEESDALE, Secretary. (fyYVe wish the Statesman joy of all the aid tho A. V. Herald cm afford it in the settlement of the Oregon question. Now that Bennett fights under the Oregon banner, the Statesman can no longer doubt the wisdom of its position. Bennett's "British sympa thies" do not hurt him we suppose, as his departure from the fast anchored Isle was more a matter of necessity titan choice ; and the welcome he received from O'Connell not l ing since did much to confirm his respect for his native land. White such men as Bennett oppose the Whigs, they cannot be far out of the way, and we should suspect the soundness of our position if it received his approbation. A Despairing Appeal. Tho Statesman of last evening contains a most lugubrious appeal to the Locofoco politicians of Ohio, to suspend their quarreU, and unite upon common ground against the Whigs, It becomes almost obsequious occasionally in its efforts to appease the wrath of its enemies, and denies with an indignation assumed most becomingly, that the idea is entertained by any of a-bandoning the principles of tho party, The leaders, he contends, are all aiming at one loiut, but as they cannot accomplish directly what they want, owing to an unfortunate perversciiess of public sentiment, he would have them use a little trickery and duplicity, and thus bring about their ends indirectly. Fur his part he is ready to do nnything and every thing rather than have the present wretched state of otfiirs continue. Instead of feeling indignant at the assaults made upon him by some of the Locofoco presses, he admires the spirit tiny display, and commends them for their ardent, indomitable attachment to principle. He appreciates their motives, but very, wry kindly tutt. mutes that they iinut consent to dissemble a little on the bank question. Nevertheless, if they will not, and really think they cannot w hy he is with Ihem, ready to do what serine th liest. Ho talks about ixour democracy," and about 44 ordering" them against the common enemy as though they were so many cattle to lie driven to market, and disposed of without the slightest reference to any principles or feelings they may bo suppnscd to possess. In fact, ho seems to take it for granted, that if the leaders can only settle matters to suit themselves, the good, clever people will lie ready to march at the order, 11 without a why or wherefore." The idea that they can see through this trauspirent web of deiimgoguism does not seem to enter even for a moment his unsuspecting soul. Well, well, our neighbor deserves to succeed, and although we scarcely rxected to see him become so tame under the assaults of his enemies, yet we an' not certain but he has taken the best course. If the Iturds do not yield note, and abandon their doubts as to his 44 mission " and views, they m iy be rated among the most incorrigible of living mortals. It is true that itflor wading through the interminable article of our neighWr, they will be about as much enlightened as to his actual designs and opinions, as they were before they saw it; or, as the public were in reference to his views on Rankin: after reading an article he put forth a month or two before the election, yet Ins assurance that he is willing to do almost anything for the sake of harmony, ought to be suHicicnt to satisfy even old Urn, Toppon himself. Complaint has heeii made, that a particular portion of the State has been over-represented, heretofore, in ibis lmdy nnd that an unfair iutluence has thus Wen exerted to bring forward such men, and such issues, as would Im-sI serve tho interests of a portion, only, of the party. A liikcwarmitcssflfnoNjr the people a de-sin to shift the responsibility upon the few who were willing to work and a variety of minor causes, havo tended tolhrowthe business of nominating candidates for ofiice, nnd of presenting issues to the party, upon a few individuals. The result has shown that tliey have not carried with them, the co-operation of the people and we have been compiled to a defeat while we feel certain thai the majority of voles in Ohio are clearly upon our side. Ohio L hioh. We quote the bIkivc from an article relative to the anticipated Hth of January Convention, and the nomination of a Locofoco candidate fur Governor, which we find iu the last Ohio Union. It is an admission of the charge so frequently brought against their opponents by the Wings, that tint party has been ruled by a few reckless spirit whose aims and purposes were selfish, and wilh whom the copli of Ohio have never sympathised, although they have occasionally submitted to their control. The 41 dear people" have lieen informed by these immaculate spirits, from time to time, that llie "democracy of numbers" controlled all tho movements of the party, and it is now admitted that the few, acting out rank federal principles, have dictated to the many, transacted their business for them and oven established their issues. Let this admission he recorded. What does the Union mean by ils intima tion 44 that the majority nf votes in Ohio," are on tho Locofoco side r hat folly to put forth such a declar ation. Worse than lolly. The Union knows that at four successive contests, a decided majority of the votes polled have been in our favor. It knows that more votes were polled by nearly fort thou so nd til the elec tion last fall than were ever before polled in the State, and that tho W lugs had a decided majority of these, yet it tnlks of a iMtaforo majority in the State t Wa diould like to know what disposition the editor of the Union makes of his eonnrimee when he w riles his edi torials) or, is ho not troubled with such a monitor. QT We are not in the habit of finding fault wilh our opponents for the terms they use in steakins of i s, but we must be permitted to express our surprise that the editor of the Kolidin 'enture should permit any one to use Ins columns who has no belter conception f the dignity of the press, and what is due to a just sense of propriety than his correspondent who signs himself thus ( ) manifests.

Then seems lo lie a strong disposition in some sec-' lions of the State to shuulc Daviii Ton off the track and select another as the Locofoco candidate for Gov- ruor. We do not know, nor do we care much what may be the result of the contest. The " hnrds " certainly lack confidence in the incorruptible David, and the fact that he proved so pliant an in sir unit nt in the hinds of the various sections of the parly, in the last contest, leads them to feel that he cannot lie depended upon. The softs think him not the strongest man in (heir ranks by odds, and would prefer, if they could conveniently, do so, to give him the go-by. The probability is, at this time, that the various sections will make the best of a bud job, and nominate David. Dowrr Utter, Rkcrkii Wooii, W. II. Bi.nwm, Ttios.

Novt.t, PniNTiNit Maciiink. A printing machine of a novel construction, has lately been invented by Mr. George Schnelby, an engineer. It is cnlled the Victoria IVntten Printing Machine. The novelty of the invention consists iu having but one larpo wheel and two cog wheels, one larger than the other. In the forger of these there is nn eccentric groove, in which two shafts work, one on each side ; the larger of the shnfts forces up the phtt-n, and the smaller carries the p'ir under Ihe pUtten.nnd discharges nnd adjusts it. When Hit; forger of these shafts is moving the smnller one stops, nnd when the smaller one is moving the forger stops, and rice rrrta. Then is nlso another contrivance attached to the smnller sbsft, by which the type is better and more equally inked. It is ca-tnblo at present of priming between six and eight hundred impressions an hour; a contrivance which, though not cn leu h led to compete With steam printing presses, may he found useful in small establishments, a oemg a great improvement nn the old press.

Tho editor of the New York Tribune has examined recently in two establishments at Brooklyn the opera- lion or uie apparatus known as "i,iute Kesoury s Improved Patent Heat Generator." It effects a saving of from ! to 50 per cent, in the amount of fuel required; the cost of erecting the Works with it is con- sidernhly less, as high chimneys, towers, etc., arc su perceded. The heat is entirely retained around or ab sorbed into the boiler, so that one may put his hand into the chimney just above the boiler at any tune, and experience no sensation but that of pleasant, ge nial warmth in a current ol air. 1 he heat is so entirely retained thnt, the fire being stopped and all opera tions susfHMided at early evening, the workmen come back next morning and at once start the machinery ngain, without a particle of fire under the boiler. The saving of time thus realized is no slight additional ad vantage, i lie process tiy winch this is enected is ve ry simple, and is thus described by the editor ol the Tribune : 14 The active ngent is a common blower, scting on a coal fire in the common boiler grate, from which Ihe heat and flame pass over a bar which brings thorn into close contact with the boiler, which they follow to the farther end. Here instead of passing vp into tho flue, the unoonsumed gases pnssdWn into a low er reservoir or outlet; from which they escape into the chimney, into which a strong current of atmospheric air is admitted, perhaps two feet above the reservoir. 1 his air being heavier than tho heated gases, bears them down; and in fuet all the gases usually escaping from fuel and forming smoke, heated air &c, aro , retained in the fire chamber and consumed, except the carbonic acid gns, (incombustible,) which alone passes on, hardly warm, through llie chimney. All beside is retained snd consumed in the formation of steam. Any offensive gases which may be generated by ihe manufacture carried on by the help of the engine to which this is attached, may be conveyed into the fireplace and mode not merely harmless but useful," The improvement can bo added when works are being put up or remodelled at an expense (other than the patentees' charge) of a few dollars. To apply it to works alrendy in in operation costs from $ to $."ti) for malerinls and labor. The steam mills of N York nnd its vicinity nre fast getting the 44 Generator," and the I,owcII factories and others contemplate its adoption at an early day. It is applicable to all instrumentalities used for generating and applying heat as an 'lement ol propulsion. Halttmore American. V. H. Circuit Court, New York. Patknt RtniiT. A case involving the validity of Buck s iiatent for t ookmg Stoves, him been tried at the lute term of the U.S. Circuit court in the North- m District of New York. The case is briefly report ed from tho Albany Journal, and from that report it appears That Buck, in I H30, obtained a patent for nn improvement in the Cooking Stove, consisting in the extension of the oven iiiuler the hearth of the stove, and iu com bination With the flues which surrounded the oven, securing an equal degree of heat on all sides with a very slight consumption of fuel. Recently John C llennnceol Hclienectndy, has un der n patent which he obtained subsequently to that of Mr. Buck, constructed snd sold stoves embracing liuck s improvement, ror tins violation ot his patent, Mr. Buck and Mr. Nathaniel Wright, of this city, the assignee of a portion of the patent, sued Mr. Her-miitice in an action at law, and also filed a bill for on injunction lo restrain him from making or selling nny more stoves embracing Buck's improvement. The suit at law was tried this week and occupied several davs. The esse was submitted to the Jury, who after being out during one night, came into court stating that they could not agree. We understand that nine of the Jurors were in favor of sustaingMr. Buck's patent. The Jury were discharged, nnd the case must be tried again at the next term of the court. After trial the plaintiffs applied to the court for an injunction to restrain Ileriiiunce, the defendant, from milking or selling stoves embracing Buck's improvement. The court granted the injunction asked for, unless the defendant should, willnn 40 dnvs, give to the plaintiffs a bond in the penalty nf $,11041, with two sufficient sureties, conditional to tender to the plaint:!)' monthly, a true account of nil stoves made or sold by him, ami in ease the plaintiffs finally succeeded m establishing Ruck's patent. The Sun bury American thus descrilies the manner iu which the iron T mil for railroads is manufactured at the Montour Works at Dunvillc, Pennsylvania ; In order to make the Trnail, the iron is first rolled through one sett of rollers into heavy fiat bars, about three inches in width and three -ton run of an inch in thickness. These bars are then cut in pieces, some thing less than three feet in length. A number of the pieces, probablr 1.1 or are then ptneed together, making a square hundie or taggot, weighing nearly four hundred pounds. This faggot is then placed in to one of the furnaces and brought to a white heat. when it is drawn on a small iron band cart and con veyed to the rollers. The great weight and intense heat of such a henvy mass, requires considerable skill ns well as strength, in passing it through the rollers The bar as it passes through, is caught and supported by iron levers, fastened to chains that are susKanded on pullics from above. The bar first posses through the square grooves ol the rollers three or lour tunes, before it is run through tho different grooves that gradually uriiig il to the lorm o the edge or 1 rail, as seen upon our rnil mads. Through the last grooves it passes five or six limes before it is completed. It in then placed on a small railway carriage, on a track If feet wide, snd hauled up alumt) feet, when the rnil conies in contact wilh two circular saws, one of which is iiiaeeii on ench side ot the rnilwnv, J hese saw revolve with great rnpidity, and the moment the rail, still red hot, reaches Ihem, the red, sparkling iron saw dust is scattered in everv direction. I'he rails are thus rut off square at each end, exnetly 1H feet bmg, npparently ns easy as if they were mnde of tough hickory wood. The rnil is then dragged to the pile ! ami left to cool, perfectly finished. The rails we saw mnde were intended for the llnrrisburgli and Lanc.as- r rood, and weighed fiftv one noun ils to the vnrd. or something more than three hundred pounds each. I ncsc are said tone the first rails ever made with an thracite iron iu this or any other count rv, and are. we lievo, superior to any that have ever been imported. The (Editor.

This class constitute a new power or estate, and leir influence is rapidly increasing, and their social imsitinn is rapidly improving. It is remarkable what leilow lechng prevails anong them, and how readily they mingle together wherever they meet. During the Convention they had several delightful reunions.

Monopoly of the, soil- Croasing of the Mrr de Glace bp flocks and Herds Cowherd tUiliuh Travelling I'urty Peasant Uirls Hasina Tcrrex, r. M aotionv, Switzerland, June Hit, IH-lo. The world is rapidly getting into the hands of a few proprietors. The soil of Scotland bus been recently stated to be owned by 11(1(10 persons ; while that of England, which in J7(i5, belonged to y tOHIO holders, in 1H45 was engrossed by only thirty thousand overgrown, aristocrntic landlords. Such is the tendency, even in this pastoral region. The lunds of the valley arc locked up in old families, in which they have descended, almost ah initio, from father to son ; but the mountains, which cupidity and despotism cannot any where so easily grasp or master, are still the property of the villages, among whom they are divided by fixed rules. The entire population enjoy the valuable right of pasturing their cattle there without cometisation, except to the cowherd, who superintends them, and is paid by the whole. The pasturage is separated into sub-divisions, some for cows, and others for sheep and goats ; the latter arc situated in the more rugged and lofty elevations. Commencing iu the fields at Ihe bottom of the mountains, the cattle as the season ndvances, mount higher and higher, and by the first of July the verdure bus made such progress, that on the side of Mont Blanc itself there is sufficient to nourish the flocks of the villages But the great difficulty is to reach it. The Mrr ile, filaee is to bo crossed, by no means an easy thing for man, and not more so for beast. The whole people go forth to witness or aid this arduous, but indispensable operation, and the occasion becomes almost a fete day. A party proceeds first with axes, to nttempt a passage ujHin the glucier, over which they force the frightened heifers. A great many persons are stationed to indicate the way to their ascending companions. A considerable number of the flocks and herds fall into the yawning clefts; others are maimed ; but must of them are happily conducted beyond this barrier of frost, where they are left for three months under the charge of a man whose vocation it is to take the charge of Ihem, knit stockings, and wonder at and admire the sublime grandeur above and around him. These he can indulge in to his heart's content, without idlers to interrupt his meditations, or reporters to burlesque the soliloquies of his heart. Thus exiled from mankind, with bread and cheese enough for a mouth, he sees no face till (he end of that period brings him a fresh supply. 1 think one of his soliloquies must run thus. O solitude, where are the charms, That saucs have seen in iby fiien t Better dwell in the midst of ahrma, Than reign (over cows) in this mountainous place. The next day, regardless of nn unwonted disinclination for enterprise, resulting from the fatigue of tho preceding day's luborious ascent, we started to continue our regular route to the town of Martigny. Tho duty of the mule was this day soinewhnl greater; for. in addition to one person on his back, and another 44 in tow," he had the baggage of both to carry. This, however, was neither heavy nor bulky. Those who travel to sec the country, are very careful how they encumber themselves with unnecessary luggage. Gen- tlomcii carry merely the apparel on their persons with a change of linen, and st tin numerous hotels upon the way, the most polished make the least pretension. Occasionally one meets a cockney or two, strutting about in a bird of paradise plumes, but these are ror as aces, and not to tie imitated. What is more, ladies dispense even with bandboxes, and other things reckoned ns sine, qua nons on most occasions. Their trav elling dresses aro of course materials, selected for utility only. 1 did, however, see on the day's journey, of which I now am writing, a party of English, consisting of two men and threu women, all mounted upon mules, and as they were going in our direction, we conversed a little together. They were those extraordinary se-cimens, which a man like Dickens would describe, as genuine English, but who in reslity were probably a-mong llie lowest of the people. Having money, they felt its inspiration to travel, and here they were, every one upon a mule, getting wisdom every day, and paying for it in affording amusement to the country all nlong their route. l'lu'V coino on at such a rate, though only on a walk, that it seemed every moment as if they must come off. The gaudy dresses and waistcoats flared at a distance, and telegraphed an extraordinary arrival. And indeed we found it so, for light-colored silk dresses, pump shoes and while stockings aro remarkable equipments for a day's ride over these horrible roods, rendered muddy by numberless springs, which trickle down the Alpine slopes, overhung with bushes and briars, that gavo us no very hospilnblu reception. How many victims to these charms marked their progress through the Cretins, I did not learn. Descending at a little inn, where we were about Inking some refreshments, one of the gentlemen (:) stepped up, and, thrusting his fingers into a plate, on which was placed some ham for us declared, that it would do very well nn opinion in which wo concurred, except thnt we objected to the pig's feet. As none ot this interesting company spoke or understood French, the hotel-keeper had a difficulty iu telling him to keep his fingers out of the dish a piece of advice which is necessary sometimes to American children of five years of age, hut he managed to express his sentiments in another way. We overtook a party of young peasant girls, who were returning from the fair of cows, goats and mules, held at Chamouiiix. With a laudable and philosophic curiosity, as every one must doubtless see, to ham something of these primitive people, two of us, permitting our party to go on, slackened our rein, for wo had, you know, but one between us, and falling into their company, an interesting conversation soon ensued, 1 happened at the time to be on fimt, my friend upon the mule. In the group we found one distinguished bIhivo nil the rest for her youthful beauty, who wns regarded by them with a respect, which could not have been accorded to her su lienor costume, for that was humble as tho others. She appropriated most of her conversation to herself, and her spirited replies were such ss one would nut expect to hoar in these wild regions. 1 hero wns something about her ex ceedingly eaptivntrng. Her dress wns of a coarse brown woollen stun ot country manulncture; around her neck was a little while hnndkerchicf folded enrc-fully over her Iiosoiii. She wore no bonnet, but her black, luxuriant hair was partially concealed hy a cap of a dnrk color, decorated with a double row of broad black lace. Her fnce was finely formed, having regular, well chiseled features, and a black eye which spnrk-led with a lustre scarcely inferior to her wit. The hue of henlth, bo ;ond the reach of art, was upon her cheek, which tfie fervors of an unshaded sun had painted with a rich brown. She possessed a charm withal, which cannot lie rciistcd nor described, but which will ever cause the sweet Rosine Term, tho wild flower ol Cha- mounix, to he ever remembered. As we came to a small village, one hy one of our pretty friends dropped off, till finally none but she re. mained with us. We presently approached her own house, in sixe superior to the others in the cluster, but, like oil these mountain homes, discolored hy the de. facing hand of time. Sheginsistcd on our entering to drink a cup of milk ; and as we feared to lose our companions by our deviation from the road, she offered to escort us afterwards to when the path was plain, and set us snfely on our way again. This was irresistible, for in fact we did not need a very strong inducement. The sweet character of this mountain maiden, so modest and simple, her conversation so piquant, yet a-bounding in naive tie, were more enchanting than the beauty of Paris itself, though heightened with all that dress and taste and education can bestow. Ah, tho lovely Rosine will cause many a heart to ache. We entered the dwelling. A long entry conducted us into the kitchen, thence into the sitting room, which was also the bed chamber. On one side of Ibis peculiar apartment, was a collection of oil paintings, whose design was unquestionably to commemorate some of the remarkable events in the career of Napoleon; but I must confess, notwithstanding a strong desire to represent the contrary wilh indifferent success. Around the frames were stuck some highly colored figures, the most ludicrous imaginable, cut out of somo work similar to llie London Punch. On the other side of the room was a frame, in which beds were placed one over another, aa berths aro on shipboard. 'Ihe centre was occupied by a huge table roughly made, and surrounded by benches. we had scarcely given a glance at ihe singular apartments and its belongings, when the aged father made his appearance. He was of upright fipure, though eighty winters had silvered his hair. A veteran of numerous wars, it was his taste which selected the military paintings which bedecked the room. It was not long bell) re the charming Rosine returned, bearing the milk, covered over wilh rich thick en sm, some of which, 1 fenred, her generous heart iiad robbed from what was left for her family. It wns served in a vessel holding with respect tn sixe, a medium be tween a cup and a howl, on tho sides of which two protuberances answered for handles, and a saucer was underneath. These were manufactured of the same species of clay as the large milk pans used in New England by the farmers' wives, and were msdo of the usual red color. Hut notwithstanding the humble mode of presentation, the milk was as delicious as necur from the hands of Hobo. The fear of not overtaking our companions cnniellcd us to put a period lo our visit in a few minutes, which we could have wished to prolong to as many days. When in fact I was just beginning to think of " Lovo in a cottage," and it kindred seducing images, 1 was summoned to depnrt. Since many ol the Savoyards are emigrating annuallv to Ihe I'niied States, 1 felt a lingering hope of once more seeing the fascinating Rosine in New York, and agreeably to that fancy, gave her my address. She pointed out our road and presented us her hnnd no oily lady's, white and soft but brown nud firm with exercise. Though unnssuming as aim was, here wns not tho shake of affectation or mere politeness, whose dainty touch free Tea like on icicle, but her heart snd soul wns in it; and thus she communicated ihe thrill of feeling and intelligence. "Good bye," she said, and was turning away, when 1 told her 41 that in Paris, ladies when we part from them especially if forever, give us Bomelhing better than their hands. I am sorry it is not the fiudiion here." 44 O, it is the fushion," she replied, "when one wishes." "On this hint I rpaket" says Othello ; judgo then bow I acted. As my present wherenlMJiit was once under the control of French institutions, it would be apropos, as well as delightful to linger a moment on this fnigmnt theme of kisses, were it not as difficult to seite upon them for examination, as to take up Ihe sparkles of champagne on the point of a needle. Rt,th are among the most exhilarating and transitory of human things. They expire at the very instant of their birth, snd to a bystander, like electricity, are only perceived to exist hy their explosion; leaving behind, however, to tho parties concerned, a certain tingling in the veins, and a memory of their evanescent passage, which rank them in my mind among the powerful magnetic intlu. ences. Indeed, if the human frame were even pro. longed as much as Morse s magnetic wires, I do not question, that the sudden junction of the two poles at the lips of the two sexes would evolve a subtle fluid sufficient to penetrate the whole. Nor are they wanting in language, or symbols of tho thoughts. The pure salutation, for example, when tho child, on rising in the morning, or after a temporary absence, presents her clear forehead to parental lips, speaks of filial reverence. The second kind of salute is the hiss polite, and occurs on a New-Year's call, birth-day visit, or the marriage of tho fair one ; at which tmi'-s she puis out her cheek, as, on ordinary occasions, one would do her hand, or as the good man offerB a charity box for donations. These aro marked as temperate on the Fahrenheit of manners being neither not nor cold. But higher up in tho scale comes tho third description, the burning hiss of lore, w hich is printed directly on the lips, the beautiful altar sacred to sacrifices of the heart. How it commences, how it ends, strangers are not permitted to observe ; and tho parties themselves are too much occupied to know, or if they did, too generous to tell. Rut I discover after all, lhat 1 linve not given a definition of a kiss, and in fact am of opinion that it defies such restraint. Grammatical I v considered, it is noun, common, and also of mm in on arnder. thmnrh I am sorry to confess, that in France it is frequently mttreulint.

As several of the leading rsilwuy cumpanies ore negotiating to have depots in the centre of Uie metropo lis, insiraa oi ns uoruers, a party ol capitalists havo proposed to purchase the Thames Tunnel, with tho view of carryings railway direct from the junction of the Eostern Counties and Bluckwall lines, to Ihe point on the Greenwich line whence the Croydon, Brighton and Dover verge. An offer of ten shillings in tho non ii u nns neen rnoue lor the 1 unuei, and it will, most likely, be accepted. Among the variety of railway announcements is ono deserving particular notice. It is a patent rail for tho atmnsphi-ric lines. The principle consists in working the lme by a " plenum," instead of a " vacuum," or more proM-rly speaking, by forcing strongly compressed air into tubes Inid down in the centre of the line, between the rails, which suddenly inflates the pipes, their sides impinge upon two drums, or large wooden . rollers pressing upon them, which are by that means set in motion, and being fixed by simple mechanism to the carriage above, carries it off with astonishing velocity and it is impossible for the carriage to get off the rail. Such is the confidence ex pressed in its supu-rior construction, that the company who ore about to adopt it propose to mnke everv ticket issued a mdicw of insurance upon the life of the passenger who holds ii, so mai in me event, oi nccidcnt, or death, a claim can Ik mnde upon tho company for a certain amount.
